At the end of the day though, none of this garden leave will happen. The two clubs will now agree a conpensation package presumably. Otherwise Reading are stuffed. Maybe they should have allowed him to speak to them as they may not get anything at all now.
Why the hell would Reading want to pay Pardew his full salary for months on end, just out of spite ?? It makes no sense at all, and if I was a magager or player condisering a contract with them - I would think twice before signing it.
What a bunch of tossers.

We will get a compensation package in either scenario, which is not much at around £250k. Garden leave will happen for as long as Madejski is prepared to fund it for.
Similar to when you might leave employment at a company to move to another one in the same industry, often you have to stay out of work for a few months due to sensitive information that could prove detrimental to your previous employer.
With Palace/Bruce, Palace gave up sooner rather than later as they couldn't really afford to keep paying him and the new manager together (Francis). Now Reading is a different kettle of fish compared with Palace financially.
We let McGhee speak to Leicester when they wanted him, the rest is history!

To make sure as much as possible within our means that West Ham don't go up and we do! For the sake of £30k or so, its worth it for £20m worth of Premiership revenue!
I'm sure your club would do the same if Coppell went to QPR for example.

STOP PRESS: Unless this is just an exercise by West Ham to get one of their promotion rivals to lose their manager and go into temporary disarray, to affect their promotion bid.
Then Pardew is out of work and is never likely to come back, and West Ham just get a new manager. Possible...

Well Wilts, do you finally agree that Pardew is, and always has been... a ****?
Still seems completely stupid to me - if you've got money to burn, spend it on attracting a decent new manager - don't chuck it in Pardew's pocket.

Wilts,
the reason we're so interested in this is because there is a lot of concern that Coppell will be wanted at Reading, i he leaves us we really are stuffed cos we could not afford to pay anyone gardening leave. I think it will get a lot more messy for the Royals yet, but I truly hope you find someone else to replace P*****w, whoever it is they will have a great oppertunity to prove themselves.

I tihnk Reading sahould accept that Pardew is going to West Ham, arrange a decent Compensation package form West Ham and then sign up Bryan Robson as their new manager. He's good at spending money at clubs with some.
As long as Coppell stays where he is I couldn't give a flying f***.

To answer your question... he's a
... yep! He's a small-time man going for a small-time job in comparison. Its easy to get West Ham promoted to the Premiership, he's a coward who's taken the easy way out, when Reading could have helped his career and CV far more.

Even if Reading have not accepted his resignation, surely he can't go back on his word. I think Madjeski should let him go. If the situation gets bitter it could do more harm than good for them.

With a fair bit of affiliation with your club now, I hope that Coppell stays with you. I hope someone like Cotterill comes along for us. There's hopefully plenty of managers out there who'd be interested... time will tell!

In which case it is what BHA would want to do in the same scenario
You know when its a bad day at the office when NSC comes up with "you can only post one message every 60 seconds"!

Agreed Wilts.
And you are lucky that you dont have to sell players, because i GUARANTEE that wanker would come straight back for Sidwell, Murray etc.

Almost definitely considering how much he doesn't seem to like us now. I imagine he'll do what ever he can to spite us. We're on the BHA thinking about Pardew now! Fancy coming to tear up Upton Park this Saturday with us?!? There's already plans in waiting. The flag shop in Reading has a mile long queue already, and they've got "Judas" all ready made on order I reckon...
